A while back I posted some about trying to find my way back to making art, but thought better of doing all my exploration in public, and stopped. Now, though, I have set up another account where I will post images of work I feel good about, whether decades old or brand new: paraboloid.bsky.social

The Bush administration disappeared people too, sent them to a different gulag at Gitmo and other black sites, kidnapped people off the street of Milan, tortured them, in the name of "a different kind of war." We didn't come close to holding them accountable. We're seeing the cost of that now.

Every time I read about Muskian destruction I wonder why more isn’t noted about how we—you, I, even undocumented immigrants—paid for the institution under attack, to the tune of many $ billions. They’re stealing that investment from us, and then just lighting it on fire to enjoy our pain. Evil.

White guys who aren’t evil, this is your time to step up - like Senator Van Hollen is.

Also on messaging—obviously, though the obvious seems to elude many—when Trump/Musk cripple the FDA, FEMA, etc they are not saving taxpayer money, they are stealing it. The people elected politicians to pass laws to establish these agencies, and paid taxes to fund them. It’s flat-out stealing.

Re-posting myself because this is really the crux, and the resistance—including prominent Democrats—should be constantly reminding the military brass of the oaths they swore.

I had been doubtful that we were going to have a "this is the crisis moment" with Trump, as opposed to "everything about this is a destructive catastrophe." But the Abrego Garcia case is the crisis moment. 1/

I’ll happily be the thousandth person to repost this and... why isn’t it driving the news? [we know why] what can we do about it? [I wish I knew]

Universities need to band together, go to court, and use their endowments to get through the next four years -- or let Donald Trump and his minions take over everything. Those are the only choices.

I guess if you can believe in sort of absolute rubbish like crystal healing and reiki, you can just as well believe in another sort of absolute rubbish, like tariffs and the evils of “woke.”

Trending now, IRS resignation and five sports topics. Nothing against sports, but maybe there are some other things to talk about just now?

Everything they accuse opponents of doing is something they are doing themselves. Every kind of asshole in the political world invokes this rationale: “Everyone does it” (almost always false) justifies anything.

Info you didn’t know you needed: new style colonoscopy prep lets you experience explosive diarrhea day before, day of, and day after the procedure. Also, the cocktail of versed and fentanyl(!) just knocked me out with no fun part; slept most of the following 18 hours after my ride brought me home.

The term "conservative" no longer applies to the Trump Republican Party and is an absolute misnomer and should not be used by media. There's nothing "conservative" about "move fast and break things." It's absurd to call modern Republicans "conservative."
